    Starcraft Co-Op Mutation #229: Hello My Old Friend


    Co-Op Mutation #229: Hello My Old Friend

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 06:15 AM PDT

    The vortex of swirling energies around the Void Slivers eat away at anything that isn't in a building, and jams your reconnaisance systems. When hybrid die, they explode in an enormous blast that disables all your weapons. Only destroying the slivers will restore order to the area.
    ­

    Map: Scythe of Amon

    Black Death
    Some enemy units carry a plague that deals damage over time and spreads to other nearby units. The plague spreads to your units when the enemy unit is killed.
    Darkness
    Previously explored areas remain blacked out on the minimap while outside of player vision.
    Moment of Silence
    When a Heroic enemy unit dies all player units around it will reflect on their sins, unable to attack or use their abilities.

    Rating: Brutal +4

    Video Replays on Brutal:

    Player 1                                   Player 2
    [CtG (Zeratul)] Ancalagon (Vorazun)
    [CtG (Swann)] Ancalagon (Stetmann)
    [CtG (Stukov)] Ancalagon (Zagara)
    [CtG (Arcturus)] Galle (Raynor)

    ­

    Notes:

    • Any enemy unit has 33% to carry black death on Brutal.
    • Players units that carry this plague will lose 2% of their max HP per second on Brutal until they die.
    • When any infected unit dies [player's or Amon's], it will spread to 3 random players' units within 5 range.
    • Stukov's Bunkers, Karax's Repair Beam, 100-biomass Abathur units, and being in Kerrigan's Omega Worms all out-heal the plague.
    • Stetmann's green zone can outheal the Black Plague for a lot of the units with Stetzone bonuses mastery.
    • Moment of Silence [has 8 range]. Units affected can move, but not attack.
    • Buildings are IMMUNE to Moment of Silence.
    • The Void Sliver locations are visible through the darkness, but attack waves are not.

    How do the casters do it?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:17 PM PDT

    I've been watching ESL since 8am and now its 9pm and the casters are still going! I swear they've been talking non-stop for the past 12 hours. Absolutely insane.

    Creep tumors seem to be opponent-viewable through fog of war and without detection

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 08:20 PM PDT

    This is a bug.

    In a ZvZ, one player can view the position of an opponent's creep tumors at any point - through fog of war, without detection.

    Mid game: https://i.ibb.co/LxMtYgM/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-8-03-56-PM.png

    Post game: https://i.ibb.co/LkzQnSd/Screen-Shot-2020-09-09-at-8-08-03-PM.png

    Issue

    • Play ZvZ
    • Select queen
    • Press C to place creep tumor, but don't place the tumor.
    • Scroll around opponent creep spread, opponent tumors will be highlighted blue

    This was in an AI game, but even if the scope is limited to AI, it seems like a notable bug.

    The RTS Genre As a Whole

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 01:49 PM PDT

    I'm not what you classically call a gamer, but Starcraft has been one of my favorite pastimes for at least 10 years now. I played some CoD and Civilization, maybe some C&C really back in the day but that's generally it - Starcraft.

    I understand as a whole the RTS genre isn't as popular as others - FPSs are much easier to learn and understand, MOBAs are flashier and the learning curve is generally much gentler. However, what are some other RTS games that actually carry the genre as a whole who are still popular today? What is in the works and what's been dead for a while?

    I've been wondering this since you can easily trace the steps of other genres in regards to what came after what and what games are really popular, but I can't recall a single RTS game that's been popular for the last couple years.

    Broodwar custom game micro- what do you do to help you judge the distance of when to push h when you are using a key of wraiths to take hit and run potshots at scouts or other wraiths?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:05 PM PDT

    1) And how does this work in general? You get within a certain range, push h and then immediatly pull back? And this gets off more shots than usual while keeping u safe?

    2) Also, which training map do I use? https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Micro_Training_Maps

    For these combos:

    wraith vs wraith

    wraith vs scout

    scout vs wraith

    Why aren't pro making libs in TvP ?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 11:05 AM PDT

    Latest TvP I see always end up by the Protoss throwing nova after nova at the Terran, getting more and more efficient trade until there's nothing left.

    So why don't Terran make libs ? It's a pretty good counter to the disruptor so it should be the default go to but they never build it.

    So many upgrades!!

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:05 AM PDT

    I just finished the campaign and started exploring the VS mode a bit and found out that there are so many upgrades in so many different structures!!! How do you even manage all that? How do you decide when to get which upgrades?

    Broodwar, is there a way to waypoint to a vulture to plant all his mines one after the other without you having to babysit it after each planting?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 06:53 PM PDT

    Useful for some custom games

    I tried it, I don't think so?

    Are there other tricks to get the vultures to dump all their mines somewhere with as few clicks as possible?

    Broodwar custom scene has too few players but I lag on Korean server. What might you try?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:38 PM PDT

    I used to like all the historical maps that were there on broodwar

    I find the main 1v1 game to be more lonely compared to custom games that have more players / triggers/talking/teamwork with multiple players

    Broodwar- When you are shooting with several tanks that don't have siege mode in a custom game vs marines, how do you micro vs the marines?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 07:28 PM PDT

    I watched Day9's micro video but still had some questions. In the broodwar custom games I play, there are some games where I must use tanks that don't have siege against marines

    However, what if you have several tanks and you have several different scenarios:

    1. You are chasing marines with tanks without siege in a custom game
    2. You are backing away from marines which are chasing your tanks
    3. You are fighting a roughly equal number of tanks, both don't have siege

    In each situation:

    a) what is your overall movement strategy?

    b) do you use hold position or attack move or something else?

    c) What do you look to judge the distance of when to shoot?

    d) What is your strategy with the tanks? Should you focus fire one at a time and try to get close?

    Also, when you are running away, you should always attack move away from the guys chasing you, correct?

    How to Watch Code A?

    Posted: 09 Sep 2020 09:35 PM PDT

    I remember back in the good old days of Wings of Liberty, Artosis and Tasteless would cast both Code A and Code S matches, but, after not watching or playing for many years and coming back, I see they only do Code S. Is there an English cast of the Code A matches?
